Chapter 760 The Head of the Governor

In China there is a mythical monster named Taotie.

It has the body of a sheep and a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like a baby. This extremely gluttonous beast is so greedy that it even eats up its own body. A pair of cute "tiger teeth" grew on a person's head.

It is a "beautiful monster", one is enough, but people also hope that there will be more gluttons. Fortunately, it can be distinguished because it has no eyes on its face, but it can draw a pair, just like Venice. After the rich people sealed the windows, they painted fake ones instead for the sake of beauty.

Although Venice's sculpture achievements are as high as paintings, in the eyes of non-professionals, Michelangelo is more famous.

Fame is very important to an artist. Van Gogh had little fame when he was alive, but his paintings sold for sky-high prices after his death. Well, he is a genius, but art intermediaries will helplessly watch the genius fall, and watch him suffer from poverty and poverty. Struggling to die in the pain of not being recognized by the world, and then waiting for him to die, frantically hyping his sad story.

People have forgotten the frenzy caused by Dutch tulips back then, but later there were other flowers that were hyped up. Few people would appreciate them, and most people followed suit. Even Leonardo da Vinci's works also failed.

But as long as it has the name of Leonardo da Vinci, it can basically be sold at a high price, and fakes and fakes will come out when it is profitable. No one cares about the expressive technique and the story behind the painting.

Some women in the early Renaissance were very pitiful. They were not people with souls, but dolls responsible for displaying the wealth of rich merchants.

Portraits are an important thing to wear your best clothes, as can be seen in the portraits left by the royal family.

They were exquisite dolls, meant to please others, including her father, husband, and painter. Those clothes compounded male aesthetics, but did not conform to female aesthetics, just like the empire high-waisted skirt Severus gave Pomona, she Do not like to wear or must wear.

Many people have taken photos of the "paper door", but they don't know the meaning of the paper door relief. Francesco Foscari kneels in front of the flying lion of San Marco, representing that the will of the individual cannot exceed the Republic, Napoleon After the opening of the city without blood, in order to please him, someone destroyed the sculpture. The emperor's will was above the republic, and another "Caesar" came.

However, although that sculpture was destroyed, someone quietly hid the head of the statue of Francesco Foscari, and it is now on display in the Doge's Palace.

There is also a doge, the beheaded Marino Fallielo, whose portrait is hung on the wall but covered with a black cloth, and he is given the title of traitor, which is better than the doge for a stupid It sounds much nicer to have love strife that puts the republic, parliament, and law in jeopardy.

People like to whisper, you don't know what people are talking about, and what they are looking at.

The beautiful wife provided by Marino was enjoyed by other men. After all, the governor was already 80 years old at the time.

No man can bear such a thing, but the law does not allow the governor to kill indiscriminately, but the emperor can, he can even ask normal men to undergo surgery to become eunuchs.

The eunuchs in Constantinople are all black. If there are fake eunuchs who sneak into the palace and live with concubines, then the skin color of her child will be different. There are many famous eunuchs in China. The eunuch Lai Ai gave it to Qin Shihuang's mother.

As a son, how would he accept his mother's behavior? What's even more shameful is that they planned to conspire to let those two little boys who were born secretly inherit the throne of Qin.

Yingzheng's bar mitzvah was done in the blood of his two half-brothers, who he had had the babies stuffed into his pockets and wrestled to death in front of his mother.

He broke off the mother-child relationship with her, and imprisoned her in the palace, just like the fallen governor, who was locked in a monastery living alone.

After seeing such a rich life, it is difficult to return to that kind of poor and happy life.

It would be very depressing for Severus to return to the slums of Spinner's End, even though it had once been his home.

Now, under the leadership of "diplomats", he enters the Governor's Palace along the golden steps that only nobles and distinguished guests with special contributions can walk.

At the entrance of the golden staircase arch, on the left is Hercules cutting off the snake demon, and on the right is Atlas, the god of heaven, carrying the earth. They are respectively above the stone pillars on both sides of the entrance.

Beheading is only available to nobles, so he will not be beheaded in the public like the pier, but Louis XVI and Queen Mary were sent to the gallows by the people in the square, and the people think that the pier of St. If a Governor was appointed, that's where he died.

Too much grandeur will make people behave badly. When Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, this orphan hoped that she would not show her ignorant appearance in front of relatives and be looked down upon by others. Fearing that a man would kill him, the boy from a poor family was easily overwhelmed by his resplendent appearance.

So Pomona was very curious, whether Napoleon was frightened, maybe it was because of fright that he said: There is a sleeping lion in the east, I hope it will not wake up.

But even if he was frightened, he wouldn't show it, just like Severus now, his steps were big and steady, she had to trot to keep up, the soles of his shoes made a crisp sound on the marble steps. The echoes, the whispers were replaced by it.

"I heard from Sandy that you are encouraging him and Monica to run for the mayoral election?" the diplomat joked, "And you are still investigating the whereabouts of the Knights Templar?"

"I just don't think Venice should be reduced to being a tourist city." Severus said slickly, "This is a city of wealth, and it's also the capital of an ocean empire. Oh, sorry, I forgot, what are your colonies? place?"

He said hypocritically, but the "diplomat" laughed.

"Many people think that we have a good mayor. His development of tourism has driven the economy and increased our income. He is also stepping up the construction of dams so that our homes will no longer be flooded."

"But he intends to sell those palaces that have survived the devastation of the war. Please forgive me for asking, how many paintings in the Governor's Palace are authentic?"

"This is indeed a very rude question, foreigners. Although there is only one painting left by Titian, all the paintings in the Doge's Palace are authentic." The diplomat said sternly.

"How did you get the Ghana wedding back?" Pomona asked stupidly, "Did the Louvre return the original work to you?"

The face of the "diplomat" became extremely ugly.

"Look, he's not a popular mayor, and I think he'd have a hard time getting re-elected, right?" Severus smirked, "And the Moses plan, I saw a lot of graffiti on the street against it implement this plan.”

"Orsoni isn't smart enough," said the diplomat. "You aren't smart enough, foreigners."

"The point is not whether we are smart enough, but you." Severus pointed to his head. "Have you used this thing?"

"During the Great Plague in London, the residents of the city drove away the only doctor. Do you want to do the same?" Cheap."

"The Queen of the Adriatic," Severus said. "They're messing around with the city. I know some people who are sentimental and even foolishly loyal, but they're the same as another guy I know. Humanoids are different."

"What's the difference?" the diplomat asked in a raspy voice like a crow.

"Why should I tell you?" Severus sneered. "I heard that there is an additional fee for the mystery tour. When do I have to pay?"

"You don't need it!" A masked person stood at the top of the golden steps and said, "You are a guest, not a tourist, come up, honored messenger, I heard that you haven't had dinner yet, how about having dinner with us?" Sample?"

"What should I call you?" Severus asked.

"You can call us 'comforters', since the Black Death spread in Venice, we have been comforting those who have lost loved ones and suffered because of it." He turned sideways, making a gesture of please "Come on, Mr. Smith , we have a place for you."

Voldemort suddenly laughed.

"It's exactly the same as what I said that day." He said with a smile, "How many people will be deceived by him this time."

Pomona didn't say a word.

Because her mood was extremely depressed.

Like Malfoy said, there's nothing wrong with being beautiful. Heck, how could she feel that she wasn't good enough for him?
